“I don’t care what kind of music you say you like, if you aren’t thrilled to be alive after a Jason Webley show, you may have no heart to thrill.” –JRC, Co-owner of The Trunk Space
Jason Webley is, at his simplest, a accordion playing folk musician.
Leaving the description there however would do a great disservice to his awesome power as a showman.
Simply put, I don’t think we’ve ever had an performer so capable of wowing an audience.
He is touring in support of his new release: “Eleven Saints” about which Neil Gaiman (author of SANDMAN & Coraline) said “I cannot get these songs out of my head!”
He has toured with the Dresden Dolls, and just released a Graphic Novel with Amanda Palmer, based on the same Album, Eleven Saints. (http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/16-906/Evelyn-Evelyn)
“Webley howls at the rafters with the courage and conviction of a long-gone sailor, and seduces the candlelight with melodies as delicate as a gossamer balloon; he pumps the bellows like a Romanian wedding singer and feathers the keys like a desert drifter.” -San Francisco Weekly
Please, visit his website, but, if you are unimpressed after listening to some songs, remember that its his talent as a live performer that will really win you over.
Do not miss this show!
